General Forecast

The art world as we know it is rapidly changing and Jupiter’s dabble with Neptune in Aquarius has been the harbinger of wilder times to come. While an era of high finance is ending for good, a new phase of art reaching a wide audience is just beginning. Look for the ideals of Aquarius (group effort, eccentric developments, clarity in communication) to dominate art made this summer as a first step in a new phase in art history. The Summer Solstice kicks off the Summer and the Autumn equinox ushers it out at the end of September. A lot can happen to your art and art career between now and then, so check your sign below for a more specific and accurate forecast...
